    Off the top of my head I seem to remember Cullen saying she needed a break from touring the world
    every week (she has two kids after all). She spent a year with fellow Kiwi Marcus Armstrong in the
    Indycars but Marcus is no Hamilton.

    With these two coming together again and Lawson at RBR I'm quite looking forward to the 2025
    season. It should be more interesting than 2024 was (for me at least) hopefully.

    Belated Happy New Year to the good folks here at rasf1.

    Is this officially confirmed?

    Great! She had a big impact on his peace and performance.
    I hope her return will help him again!

    I agree - I hope this and the fresh start at Ferrari will help Hamilton
    get to #8.

    Seeing the photos of Lewis in red and driving the '23 car made me
    realize just how much I'm itching for testing to start. I'm sure hoping
    that my Williams can pull something out of the hat for this year.

    Yes indeed. I have been a lewis fan since he started in F1 simply
    because he's a Brit and one of the very best of all time. However,
    I've also had a long term dislike of Ferrari, it was top of my
    dislike list for years but Red Bull now easily take that prize. I had
    decided to stay a Merc fan but I admit I'm torn because I do think
    Lewis is owed one for the 2021 cheating so I do hope it comes
    together for him.

    Oh yes.

    for this year.

    That would be nice to see and for me I do like Toto so hope Merc cam
    solve their issues.

    Bob.

    Can’t see it myself. I think you are letting your patriotism (or is it nationalism?) affect your judgement, Shaun.
    We shall see ;-)
